Codelco Would Keep More Profits If Carolina Toha Wins the Presidency in Chile

Bloomberg12-05-2025

Top copper miner Codelco would be able to retain more profit to help dig itself out of debt and overhaul its aging deposits if Carolina Toha wins this year's presidential election in Chile, according to her economic spokesperson.
The state-owned firm, which has handed over 70% of its profit under current government policy, should be allowed to keep more as it spends at a record clip to revert a slump in copper output and enters the lithium business, Alvaro Garcia said, without specifying how much more.

How BYU Plans to Distribute $20.5 Revenue Share After House Settlement

How BYU Plans to Distribute $20.5 Revenue Share After House Settlement originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Newly appointed BYU athletic director Brian Santiago sees the recently approved House v. NCAA settlement not as a challenge, but as a strategic advantage for the Cougars going forward. Advertisement In a Tuesday appearance on BYUtv's 'BYU Sports Nation,' Santiago said the landmark agreement which allows schools to directly pay student-athletes aligns well with BYU's values and long-term vision. 'This actually shifts the power of college athletics back to the universities,' Santiago said. 'For us at BYU, we think it's a strategic advantage." He added it "kind of evens the playing field." The settlement that was approved last week by Judge Claudia Wilken, goes into effect July 1. The schools who opt in can distribute up to $20.5 million annually in shared revenue. Santiago explained that BYU will prioritize investing in student-athletes who align with the school's mission. While he did not specify how much BYU will allocate in year one, he stressed the athletic department's commitment to being 'very competitive in the space.' The revenue distribution will largely benefit football and men's basketball, which Santiago called 'the ship' that drives the rest of the department. However, he added that all 19 Cougar programs will feel the impact. Advertisement Related: AJ Dybantsa denies $7 million payout from BYU 'We're going to invest in all of our sports,' Santiago said. 'We want all of our student-athletes to feel the impact.. and chase their dreams.' Santiago also praised the introduction of the NIL Go clearinghouse, which will ensure third-party endorsement deals reflect fair market value. It's a move he believes brings much-needed structure to what was previously 'the wild, wild west.'
